AH! Well, there's probably quite a few things in here that will have most Australians nodding, but wont make much sense elsewhere.

Firstly, Queensland is made up of people that often only wear one pair of shoes – rubber thongs. Even in winter. This often provides me with endless comedy for me in winter as people try to insist that the sub tropics are tropical all year round.

The latter comment about 'Julia Gillard' – which unfortunately actually happened – relates to our current political climate, which is currently quite hostile to our prime-minster (Julia Gillard) imposing a tax on carbon pollution. Everyone was happy here about dealing with environmental issues until they suddenly had to pay for it, now everything that goes wrong is oddly blamed on Julia Gillard, including cold days – because she is taxing (although not yet) people to act on global warming.

It's much more complicated than that.. But I think that might cover it.
